In the candid and heartfelt Facebook post, she detailed how 25 will be a “make-up record” in efforts to let go of all the baggage that came a long with her 2011 chart topper 21. She also went onto to admit her personal battle with regret and wishing she was ahead of her present.
“When I was 7, I wanted to be 8. When I was 8, I wanted to be 12. When I turned 12 I just wanted to be 18. Then after that I stopped wanting to be older. Now I’m ticking 16-24 boxes just to see if I can blag it! I feel like I’ve spent my whole life so far wishing it away,” she wrote. “Always wishing I was older, wishing I was somewhere else, wishing I could remember and wishing I could forget too. Wishing I hadn’t ruined so many good things because I was scared or bored.”
She also went onto say how much she has matured since her last album: “My last record was a break-up record and if I had to label this one I would call it a make-up record. I’m making up with myself. Making up for lost time. Making up for everything I ever did and never did,” she explained. “But I haven’t got time to hold onto the crumbs of my past like I used to. What’s done is done.Turning 25 was a turning point for me, slap bang in the middle of my twenties.”
And in true Adele-sweetheart type fashion, she concluded her statement by apologizing to the masses for her delay in getting new music out: “25 is about getting to know who I’ve become without realising. And I’m so sorry it took so long, but you know, life happened.”
